What is the true foundation of this section?
To some it may be a subject to be debated,
but since I am the owner of this post, it is only fair to illuminate my personal answer.
My answer is:
Creation.
Whether simple or advanced,
from the left side of your brain, or the right.
The answer is creation.
So what is creation?
Tough question actually, considering the multitudes of answers that can be provided.
I think it's safe to say, that creation comes from idea.
Usually a series of them. Once those ideas are solid, then comes production.
I'm sure you're all probably asking how this pertains to the "art" section.
Well to break it down without getting overly philosophical,
I believe our ideas need to evolve, before committing to creation.
I also believe that oppressing free speech in this section,
is absolutely critical to the direct application of creativity.
Sure, there are a few people that can be less rude here.
I'm not even excluding myself in this case,
but to stray away from myself to appease, to follow what another believe is right?
Well..that wouldn't be very creative of me, now would it?
Look how many times Scrcrw has been banned.
He is only being himself, speaking only from his heart.
75% of the time, it was legitimate opinion, and not meant with malicious intent.
He speaks no racist comments, no words of harm nor hate towards anyone,
yet because someone has a dislike for his opinion, and his movement, BAN.
Sounds a bit like a dictatorship, doesn't it?
The server is still in America right?
Bottom line is this, forums thrive from their users dedication.
And to the retards that ripped to enter this competition..
People like me will always expose you.
If you want to be like the ones you ripped so bad,
there is only one solution.
BE A CREATOR.
Dedicate your time to learning art techniques.
It took me years to learn how to draw and paint.
I almost failed 11th grade because I was so addicted to painting,
I'm not saying to do that, but be smart about it and find free time to learn.
That's about it. Love you guys.
